A new genus Sundageophilus is here described for two new species of geophilid centipedes (Chilopoda: Geophilidae) from Sumatra, Indonesia. Both Sundageophilus bidentatus sp. n. and Sundageophilus poriger sp. n. feature a minute body size (less than 1 cm long with 31-35 pairs of legs), a similar structure of the maxillae, elongated forcipules, and few coxal organs. Sundageophilus bidentatus is unique among geophilids because the ultimate article of the forcipule is armed with two conspicuous denticles, one dorsal to the other, instead of a single one or none. The two species of Sundageophilus are the first genuine Geophilidae ever found in Malesia, and among the very few representatives of this family in the entire south-eastern Asia.
本文描述了一个新属——苏门答腊嗜土蜈蚣属(Sundageophilus),包含来自印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的两种地蜈蚣新物种(唇足纲:地蜈蚣科)。双齿苏门答腊嗜土蜈蚣(Sundageophilus bidentatus sp. n.)和多孔苏门答腊嗜土蜈蚣(Sundageophilus poriger sp. n.)均具有微小的体型(体长小于1厘米,有31 - 35对足)、相似的上颌结构、细长的颚足以及较少的基节器。双齿苏门答腊嗜土蜈蚣在地蜈蚣中独一无二,因为其颚足的末节有两个明显的小齿,一个在另一个的背侧,而非单个小齿或没有小齿。苏门答腊嗜土蜈蚣属的这两个物种是在马来群岛首次发现的真正的地蜈蚣科物种,也是整个东南亚该科极少数的代表物种。
